I'm sleepy, so I'm not try for a faber, but I did want to say this....this is all very unfortunate, and this mess was not of our making as far as I'm concerned. But whats done is done. Let's make the best of it and return the Thread to the state that we all come here for. I'd hate to see this unfortunate chain of incidents unravel a great bunch of forum buddies. Maybe given a little time T and Mynok will come back and all will be good.
